We’re an early-stage startup. So young, we even started Mbrella in the week of the very first lockdown. Timing, huh?
Our timeline

- Mar 2020: Amaury & Quinten start Mbrella. David and Audrey join a few weeks later. They start hiring the rest of the team
- Jul 1, 2020: start of the product development
- Sep 6, 2020: launch of Mbrella V1

Look, this is how our product first looked like. We’ve come a long way since (even the new picture is outdated).

Not only our product changed. Our team did as well: 2020 vs 2021 vs 2022 vs 2023 🤩
